Sunshine and scattered showers to start to the period on Monday, these showers will be mostly widespread and heavy in the northwest. More organised showers potentially developing in the southwest. Winds will be moderate to fresh for most. Showers continuing in the west on Tuesday before more prolonged, organised rain arrives. Temperatures trending upwards through the first few days of this period before they remain just above average. The rest of October will be dominated by weather arriving from the Atlantic. Often unsettled and windy, with outbreaks of rain. Wettest in the north and west. Briefer dry interludes. Driest conditions likely across south and southeastern areas. Winds lighter here, with risk of overnight fog at times.
Updated:
The beginning of this period will likely remain unsettled with many systems arriving from the Atlantic. It will remain wet and windy with the wettest and windiest conditions in the north and west. Driest conditions across the south especially the southeast with lighter winds but the risk of overnight fog at times. From early to mid-November increasing chance of settled weather but confidence of this is very low. Temperatures are likely to be warmer than average for most. Perhaps some colder spells and an increasing chance of frost and fog towards the end of this period but confidence of this is very low.
